Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 4-pole, front-operated design enables quick isolation from the front of the panel, reducing maintenance time and improving operator safety in production lines. This translates to measurable productivity gains in high-availability systems such as conveyors and packaging machines, where fast disconnection is critical. Application: Control cabinets and process panels in food & beverage, automotive, and material handling sectors benefit from rapid front access and reliable isolation, even in tight spaces. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Protected clamp terminals and screw terminal connections provide robust, vibration-resistant wiring, lowering contact resistance risks and unscheduled outages. Application: New installations and retrofits in harsh environments gain improved reliability with durable connections and straightforward torque requirements (6 N·m). Feature → Business Impact → Application: 4P configuration with right-side fourth pole ensures consistent switching behavior across phases and simplifies wiring diagrams, cutting commissioning time in motor control centers.

FAQs
This 4P switch-disconnector uses screw terminals and supports Cu cables from 10 to 70 mm². It is base-mounted with a front-operated actuation, facilitating easy replacement in standard control cabinets and motor control centers while maintaining a compact footprint for tight panels.
The unit provides 160 A rated operational current with a 1000 V insulation rating. It offers a short-circuit making capacity of 12 kA at 690 V and a short-time withstand current (Icw) of 4 kA for 1 s, supporting reliable isolation in high-demand applications.
Ideal for motor control panels, safety circuits, and process isolation in automation environments. The 4P arrangement, IP20 protection, and front-side operation make it well-suited for compact control cabinets and equipment that require fast, safe disconnection without panel-wide rework.
The device complies with IEC 60947-3, UL 98, and CSA C22.2 NO.4, with a CE declaration. Certifications ensure global acceptance in industrial environments and support regulatory compliance for panel builders and integrators.
Mechanical durability is rated at 20,000 cycles, with protected terminals and straightforward torque (6 N·m). This reduces replacement frequency and maintenance labor, improving total cost of ownership in high-throughput facilities.
